(Adaptation to my old definitionn; wrong
death-date and new info.)
AKA Christopher Wallace, Rapper who challenged Tupac Shakur and took the throne atop rap
music during Shakur's incarceration and after his
death. Well known for his first
LP, Ready To Die, and for his second and final 2 disc set, Life After
Death, which sold over 11 million copies worldwide and was released after his
death which occured in California on March 9th, 1997. His
death was mourned by a massive turnout of people in his hometown located in the Bedford Stuvesant area of Brooklyn, a borough of New York City. Notorious BIG recently resurfaced in the news when a court in Los Angeles California deemed that the unsolved case in regard to his murder was called as a mistrial. The court later deemed that because it was clear the LAPD withheld evidence during the long and tedious trial, Ms. Valetta Wallace, Christopher Wallace's
mother, should accept payment of One Million Dollars in behalf of the city of Los Angeles in 2005. The Notorious BIG is revered by many as the greatest pure lyricist of all time.
